"Connected by Love" is a song written, produced and performed by American rock musician Jack White, issued as the lead single from his third studio album Boarding House Reach. The song peaked at #18 on the Billboard Alternative Songs chart in 2018. Its opening lyrics recall blues songs in their content, with NPR's Bob Boilen also relating it to Otis Redding's style:
Woman, don't you know what I'm suffering from?
Ease my pain, make it wash on with the rain
Relieve me and put it up on your shelf
Take it away, and give it to somebody else
Entertainment Weekly's Madison Vain called it "a searing, organ-lined plea to a former flame" and "thrillingly weird".
On April 14, 2018, Jack White performed "Connected by Love" on Saturday Night Live.
